$8.00
The white spruce is a large coniferous tree, capable of growing up to 75 feet in height with a potential spread of 10 to 20 feet. This species exhibits a medium growth rate and thrives in well-drained, sandy soils. The white spruce is commonly utilized as windbreaks, lumber, and Christmas trees. It boasts a narrow conical shape with horizontally-held branches that are dense when young, but become more loose and open as the tree ages. Apart from its commercial applications, the white spruce also offers winter shelter for wildlife. Squirrels feed on the buds, while spruce grouse consume the needles. Seeds serve as a food source for birds such as woodpeckers and pheasants, and porcupines and black bears eat the bark.
